Ammo Deals (.223)

[mwsenoj]

Do any of you know where a good place to buy some good but inexpensive .223/5.56 ammo? I am looking to buy around 500 rds and I have been paying about $6.60 per 20box after tax but my local supply is out and there is no telling when they are restocking. The stuff I was shooting was the "AR15 American Eagle" and I really liked it. It gave me about 1 MOA at 100 yds and was economical especially considering that I am saving the brass for when I send off my nonoperational Dillon press for a tuneup here in the next couple of months.

I usually start my .223 ammo search here http://gun-deals.com/ammo.php?caliber=.223

That being said I shoot lots of Brown Bear 55gr FMJBT ammo. It is the only steel case ammo that works 100% of the time in ALL four of my Ar-15's. WPA is pretty decent also, but one of my ARs short strokes on the stuff.

For brass case ammo, I LOVE IMI M193. Widners has it for~$318/1200 rounds. This stuff is loaded hot and shoots 2 MOA.

I use ammoseek.com and gun-deals.com

The Cheapest Brass .223/5.56 goes back and forth between lots of different online vendors, its best to just check one of the search sites.
